Reply #148: Humans are complicated...

And I surely can't wrap my brain around what makes people do what they do or don't do, or why they think what they think.

So many things are obvious to me but even here on DU I can't get people on board to DO things.

Just because people have resources (and a conscience), it doesn't mean they know how best to help. Indeed, there is SO much need that perhaps it's just friggin overwhelming, so they turn it off.

Plenty of people without resources do the same thing. Turn it all off 'cause it's too much, it's too overwhelming. Even if you can help with something, there are too many "somethings" and most people just turn away and tend to what is directly in front of them.

It's all so overwhelming.

I'm not asking these questions of you, Rocky; I'm hoping others will chime in with ideas and a specific game plan, just as you are.
